Stick?

My early childhood was pretty hard on my family, because I have 5 siblings, and it is quite hard to support a family that size. When we started getting old enough to hold our own jobs and when my dad found better paying work things got a lot better for us. Not say that we ever became even "well off", things aren't bad.
Kudos to your dad. Is that anything that she can recover from?

EDIT: What does he do?

Unfortunately not.

What doesn't he do might be a simpler question, but the majority has been truck driving, recently he got a job out west trucking water for oil rigs(trucking oil was better money but if something happened we would have up **** creek) and now he's kind of a supervisor/plane refuler. That's about half of his working life but about a 10th of his resume , he even raced cars for a bit before i came along, guess that's where the car lovin thing comes from.
